On this the first 'Floral Media' of 2017 - I'm featuring Sarah von Pollaro making small arrangements using one bunch of flowers and one of foliage from Whole Foods supermarket.

Sarah makes eight arrangements using low clear glass tumbler vases. The flowers are all chrysanthemums but three very different ones. She lines the inside of the vase with large green leaves to hide the stems. She then proceeds to cut down each flower stem creating shorter sections just the right size for the vases. Starting with the green gardenia foliage and then adding a mix of the three chrysanthemum flowers. Being so different they automatically add texture, colour contrast and variety.

••• Fresh flowers will make any room come to life, whether they are large arrangements in a hallway creating a warm welcome to your guests or small arrangements with individual flower stems in bud vases or jam jars on a side table. •••
I love to inspire with creative and fun ideas and show how flower arranging doesn't have to be difficult, complicated or expensive. My philosophy and approach is focused on using beautiful seasonal flowers combined with interesting containers to create simple, quick and easy yet beautiful and creative everyday flowers. ••• My love of flowers has grown into a great passion and being able to pass on my knowledge and expertise is a wonderful privilege. Working with flowers on a daily basis is such a pleasure and to style and photograph flowers - what could be better and who does not love beautiful flowers?
